1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), headquartered at Patuxent River Naval Air Station (NAS), provides products and full life-cycle support for naval aviation weapons systems, including research, design, development, test and evaluation, training, and in-service engineering. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) is a product center within NAVAIR that is the steward of the ranges, test facilities, laboratories, and aircraft necessary to support the Fleets requirements.

The Integrated Battlespace Simulation and Test (IBST) Department, NAWCAD 5.4, is NAVAIR’s center of excellence for modeling and simulation of the Battlespace environment. The Department is NAVAIR’s lead for the development and creation of synthetic and virtual Battlespace environments in support of research, development, testing, training, and system evaluation. IBST operates, maintains, and manages a number of test facilities to support test and evaluation events using simulated environments, physical environments to stimulate aircraft systems, and combinations of physical and simulated environments.

The Simulation Division (SD), NAWCAD 5.4.3, is one of three divisions within IBST and is responsible for simulation expertise and products for naval aviation systems and the Battlespace environment within which they operate. This statement of work describes the attainment and manufacturing of supplies required by the Simulation Division.

Simulation Division aircraft and aircraft system simulation activities include the operation of man-in-the- loop simulation facilities, and the development of simulation software, simulation systems, hardware-in-the-loop test benches and prototype training systems. Typical applications for aircraft and system simulations include:

· Flight test planning, coordination, and rehearsal.

· Aircrew proficiency training.

· Hardware-in-the-loop systems and integration testing.

· Human factors evaluations.

· Flying qualities and performance evaluations.

· Mission effectiveness and concept of operations.

· Accident and incident investigations.

Simulation Division Battlespace modeling and simulation provides credible, repeatable models of highly complex, interactive and reactive environments in support of the warfighter. Battlespace modeling and simulation products are used across the Department of Defense (DoD) and NAVAIR for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E), analysis and training. The Division also provides national leadership in distributed modeling and simulation, scenario development, and verification and validation.

Simulation Division personnel and facilities also support aircraft flight test and acquisition activities, including processing and analyzing aircraft flight test data, and providing subject matter expertise to aircraft programs.

Facilities and laboratory spaces operated by the SD include the Manned Flight Simulator (MFS) facility, E-2C System Test and Evaluation Lab (ESTEL), the P-8 System Integration Lab (PAX-SIL), Warfare Simulation Lab, UAS Integration Lab, H-60 Data Reduction Lab (DRL), the executive helicopter system integration lab (SIL), and Aircraft Data Acquisition Processing Team (ADAPT) labs. The SD also provides support for IBST’s classified network and unclassified RDT&E network assets.

The SD works closely with other teams and laboratories within IBST to support aircraft and system simulation and stimulation testing, including:

· Air Combat Environments Test and Evaluation Facility (ACETEF)

· Integrated Battlespace Arena (IBAR)

· Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3)

· Surface/Aviation Interoperability Laboratory (SAIL)

· Radar Reflectivity Lab (RRL)
